Did it leave Ensel at 9:30? or is that just the post time

On scene. 706 is stopped with lights off before diamonds

Edit - should note at Trowbridge in EL

Edit @ 1133. Crew change appears to be going on

D802 cleared New Richmond around 11:10. I first heard them blowing at East Saugatuck about a half hour earlier. Not sure why they were going so slow. They were crawling as they crossed the Kzoo River.

D706(or D906?) Lights on as of 1214 and lined east from East Lansing

On ATCS cn flint sub it shows that there is a train headed toward east Lansing so once it clears d706 will head out

[bluewonderrails]

If that then was D906 clear of Trowbridge, 751 and 543 front. 3280 mid dpu

Looking at ATCS as of 12:20 it has not been lined up toward Trowbridge. Has it left Lansing?

So D906 is heading East from Lansing? And D708 and is heading west from Howell? That doesn’t make any sense, they’re gonna hit each other.

[BL2-1843]

V91921, 91 car grain empty went to Grand Ledge overnight. By Howell at 02:35. 819 leading and assume 3176 was with it as that went east on the last Webberville grain load. Evidently D906 has not left Trowbridge yes as the RN just let GLC out onto CSX at 12:47 to put more cars in the Howell pass. And yes, D708 finally picked up the 82 cars on Friday that had been there since Tuesday, as well as the 20 cars in the Ogihara run around and went back to Lansing with 102 cars.

[Tom49801]

Q326-24 @ 12:46:22pm eastward Bangor mp CG60.72 with CSX engines #523 + #4016 & 65 cars.
